Auto-detect task complexity for Claude models (Haiku + Sonnet). Route simple tasks to Haiku, escalate complex ones to Sonnet. Save 50%+ on API costs. | 適用 Claude 模型(Haiku + Sonnet),自動偵測任務難度,簡單用 Haiku,複雜升級 Sonnet,輕鬆省下 50% 以上的費用。— RULES: Before responding, classify the task. If it matches an escalation trigger, call sessions_spawn with the full task and model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT answer complex tasks yourself. ESCALATE: analysis, comparisons, planning, strategy, code >10 lines, reports, proposals, multi-step reasoning, tables, outlines, charts, long writing >3 paragraphs, summarization, long translation. NEVER on Haiku: comparison tables, code >10 lines, multi-step analysis, reports, complex reasoning. STAY on Haiku: factual Q&A, definitions, greetings, reminders, short lookups, casual chat, 1-2 sentence tasks. When in doubt, escalate. Keep Haiku replies concise.

skill-install — Terminal

Install via CLI (Recommended)

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/peterokase42/save-money
Or

Save Money

Run on Haiku by default. Only spawn Sonnet when the task actually needs it. Save 50%+ on API costs.

CRITICAL: Classify First, Then Act

Before generating ANY response, you MUST:

  1. Check: does this task match ANY escalation trigger below?
  2. If YES → call sessions_spawn() IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT attempt to answer yourself.
  3. If NO → respond directly on the current model.

When in doubt, escalate. A wrong escalation only costs a few cents. A bad answer on Haiku wastes the user's time.

Rule of Thumb

If a human would need more than 30 seconds of focused thinking, escalate.

如果一個人需要超過 30 秒的專注思考才能完成,就升級模型。

When to Escalate → MUST call sessions_spawn

If the task matches ANY of the following, do NOT answer yourself. Instead, IMMEDIATELY call:

sessions_spawn(
  message: "<the full task description>",
  model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  label: "<short task label>"
)

Escalation triggers

  • Analysis & evaluation — compare options, assess trade-offs, review documents
  • Planning & strategy — project plans, roadmaps, business models, architecture
  • Long-form writing — reports, proposals, articles, presentations, emails > 3 paragraphs
  • Code generation — write functions, build features, refactor, debug complex issues
  • Multi-step reasoning — anything with "first... then... finally" or numbered steps
  • Summarize large content — long documents, full articles, meeting transcripts
  • Long translation — paragraphs or full documents (not single sentences)
  • Creative writing — copywriting, ad scripts, naming with brand constraints
  • Structured output — tables, outlines, formatted documents, comparison charts

By how people actually ask

LanguageEscalate — real examples
English"Can you analyze this for me?", "Write me a report on...", "Help me plan...", "What are the pros and cons?", "Build a script that...", "Compare A vs B", "Step by step, how do I...", "Draft a proposal for..."
繁體中文"欸幫我看一下這個報告", "幫我想一下怎麼回客戶", "這兩個方案哪個比較好", "寫一封信給老闆", "幫我整理一下這份資料", "我該怎麼處理這個問題", "可以幫我寫一個程式嗎", "幫我規劃一下行程", "有什麼辦法可以改善", "這個東西要怎麼設計比較好"
日本語"これを分析してもらえますか", "レポートを書いてください", "計画を立ててほしい", "AとBを比較して", "コードを書いてほしい", "この資料をまとめて", "提案書を作って", "どうすればいいか考えて"
한국어"이거 분석해줘", "보고서 작성해줘", "계획 세워줘", "A랑 B 비교해줘", "코드 짜줘", "이 자료 정리해줘", "제안서 만들어줘", "어떻게 하면 좋을까?"
Deutsch"Kannst du das analysieren?", "Schreib mir einen Bericht", "Hilf mir das zu planen", "Vergleich A mit B", "Schreib ein Skript für...", "Fass das zusammen", "Wie soll ich das lösen?", "Erstell einen Entwurf"

By complexity signals

  • Prompt is longer than 200 characters with specific requirements
  • Contains multiple conditions or constraints
  • Asks for structured output (tables, outlines, formatted documents)
  • Professional context: proposal, presentation, resume, contract

NEVER do this on Haiku
